VNS operates one of the largest non-profit home and community-based health care organizations in the U.S., according to the release. The settlement resolves allegations that from 2014 through 2018, the company submitted false claims to Medicaid for monthly payments for 103 patients who did not receive the full array of services VNS was required to provide under the ACT program or for whom the company did not adequately or timely document the provision of such services.
VNS admitted and accepted responsibility for the conduct, according to the release. It will pay the state of New York nearly $573,000 and the U.S. almost $381,000 to settle the allegations.
